There is No Excuse for Terrorism

Someone needs to make the leader of the Opposition write these words over and over again:

There is no excuse for terrorism.

There is no excuse for terrorism.

There is no excuse for terrorism.

There can be no more clear evidence that this man is unfit to run country than his words today. Like most people, I am shaken by anger at the mere suggestion that there is anything we may have done to justify this atrocity.

The people who perpetrate these acts hate us, not for what we do, but for who we are. They hate our belief in freedom and liberty, and hold those ideals in contempt. They are modern-day fascists that believe in their warped reading of scripture. They do not value the lives of anyone they disagree with; gays, women, atheists, Christians, Jews and, indeed, most other Muslims.

The soft incompetence from Jeremy Corbyn is not what we need in this moment. We need a leader who, in the face of these losers, is willing to be nasty. We need a bastard. Intellectually, the ideas these people represent need to be challenged in our schools, universities, mosques and all other public places.

Militarily, we need to support those who are fighting these people on the front line. We should be willing to bomb these people into oblivion. If it comes to it, we must be willing to put boots on the ground in areas where they pop up.
